bic woman.
Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON. Jan. 9.-There was a
lively interest here in the selection of James
E. Thorp, of Wisconsin, to succeed the late
Congressman Price. of Wisconsin, and some
disappointment over his defeat Thorp
Is not in utilization particularly with the
rest of the Republican members and sena-
tors from Wisconsin, but they all have
known him for years. If he had been nom
mated, however, the first comment upon
the nomination would have been, Mrs.
Thorp did it," Indeed. she is known all
over Wisconsin as a woman of remarkable
force of character. while Mr.. Thorp is usu-
ally mentioned as Mrs. Thorps husband"
He is, however, a man of great sense in
business matters, and has acquired fortune
in the pinerieS. Mrs. Thorp is social Ma
pOleOn, and wherever she happens to be
the whole situation revolveS around her.
She has demonstrated her peculiar ability,
notably in the marriages which she has con-
tracted for her offspring. Her only daugh-
ter, Sara, she married to Ole Bull, the
great Scandinavian vioIuiSt. Her son,
Joe. she married to one Of the Poet Long
fellows daughters. Mrs. Bull had but one
child by Ole Bull, a little girl. now in her
teens and developing rapidly into fine
Violnist. Joe Thorp, after wandering
about a good deal, winning some fame as
crack base bail player. settled down to hard
work in Harvard and, after graduating,
went through the law school cred tably. He
practices in Boston. For time his sister,
Mrs. Bull. lived in Cambridge in James
Russell LowelPs house, and Joe then made
the acquaintance of Longfellow's daughters,
one of whom he married two years ago. It
was supposed that Mrs. Thofp's ambition
was gratifed when she had made such dis
tinguished connections for her daughter
and son. but it seems she has now new
field before her in Washington society. The
Thorps have as many homes as they can
enjoy. Their mansion in Eau Claire is one
of the finest homes in Northern Wisconsin,
They have a house i'll Cambridge and Ole
Bulls island home in Norway is theirs
They once had a fine house in Madison, and
there Mrs. Thorp's social reign was undis-
puted. The state bought this house a few
years ago for gubernatoriaI mansion.

Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON. Jan. 9.-Prof. Baird in
his annual report, just out. relates lugu-
briously the experience of the Smithsonian
institution i'll securing good specimen of
the buffalo. The professor says that for
years he has predicted the extinction of the
buffalo, and has desired to get good Spec-
men to show to coming generations of
Americans what noble race of wild cattle
Dnce inhabited the great plains of the West.
But the buffalo has disappeared so COM
pletely that great difficulty is found in get
ting even single specimen to preserve in
the national museum here in Washington.
For three years not single buffalo robe has
been sent to St. Paul from Dakota or Mon
tana. The entire shipment in 1888 was but
two robes. In 1881 some 6000 OF 1000
fine robes were received. Prof. Baird says:
The reduction in number has been so rapid
as to render IT probable that il is a question OF
months rather than of years before they be-
come extinct. Realizing the fact that neither
the national museum nor the other museums
of the country SeSS well prepared speci-
mems of the buffalo, and. DESTROYS of securing
8 series before it is too late, the institution
determined to send its chief taxidermist
Wi lam I. HoTnaday, with party of assist
ants, to localities where the buffalo were still
supposed to occur in small numbers, with a
view of securing enough for the purposes in
question.
By the courteous aid of the secretary of
war and the adjutant general, instructions
were given to the commanders of military
posts at Fort Keogh and Fort Maginnis. Mont,
and Fort Mckinney, Wyo to render Mr.
Horuadav all the aid in their power towards
his laudable object; and the expedition left
in June for the field of operations. Although
a number of skeletons and skulls were found
on the plains. it was with great difficulty that
one buffalo bun was killed: this proving to be
i'm a condition scarcely fit for mounting, the
the party reluctantly returned to Washing
ton.
In September Mr. Hornaday again went
in search of specimens of butfaIo-this
time with fair success. He has brought
with him this week three excellent hides,
and there is no doubt he will be able to put
up two good animals. 1t is said there are
yet few buffalo i'll Northern Dakota on
some of the branches of the Souris or
Mouse river. Two or three bands have
been seen there within a few years. and
they are supposed to wander back and forth

The vyinona ubIic building.


WASHINGTON. Jan. S.-All consdera-
ton of the appropriation for the Winona
building has been suspended on account of
Mr.. Healey, of California. chairman of the
subcommittee having charge of the bill.
The subcommittee of the house committee
on public buildings and grounds consists of
Healey, Worthington. of Illinois, and
Owens, of Ohio. Neither of the latter gen
tlemen will consent to take up the Wnona
bill while Mr.. Healey is away. and there is
no likelihood that he will return during the
session. The appropriation is for $50. 0Oo
and is desired in order to make the building
fire proof. Architect Bell thought $50, 0O0
should be added to the appropriation of
500. 900, made in the last congress for site
and building. and with $50, 900 the build
ing could have been made tire-proof. Con-
gresham White, however, thinks there is
a good prospect OF getting $40. 600 this WIN
ter, and with this the foundations can be
laid and the work carried on in a way TO
make it possible to convert the structure
into tirst-cass tire-proof building later on.
The site cost SIS. 600, and if the remainder
of the appropriation is made available
promptly the building can be completed in
the course of the next year.

there are women in the large cities who
have to work in this way. 1t is hard for
people who have the means of supplying
their daily wants to realize that any of their
fellow beings are doomed to life of dark
ness and grinding poverty such as these
women endure.
That women are in many cases underpaid
for their services as SeamstreSseS and sales
women in stores is unQueStionably true.
Hard-hearted as stone and cruel as a SER
pent is the man who will eXtort profit
from the poverty of the women who work
for him. But it would be folly to seek the
cause of this evil in nothing but the flinty-
heartedness of employers. The trouble is
due, not to the form of government, nor to
the organization of society. but to the civili-
cation which drives women by the score into
certain employments and keeps them out of
others.
When dry goods merchant may take his
choice from among twenty applicants for
work at Sc per week it is not to be expected
that he will insist upon paying SO. The
number of competitors in certain kinds of
work reduces the wages. Women will
work for starvation wages in store or at
sewing rather than secure a comfortable
living by doing homework.
There is something wrong about the civ
niZation which teaches woman that it is
more honorable to sew sixteen hours day
for starvation wages than it is to secure a
comfortable living in domestic service.
There are undoubtedly hundreds Of women
and girls working in stores or as seam
stresses who have not one whit more re-
iinement. and are not in any respect better
educated than girls who are employed as
servants i'll households. But the former
hold themselves far above the latter. The
civilization is wrong which teaches young
girls and women to make distinction of
this kind.
1t is also wrong civilization which
teaches young women whose parents are
well able to provide for them and who are
surrounded by the comforts of home life
that they are in duty bound to go out into
the world and compete with their less
fortunate sisters in the struggle for a living
Home life and home work constitute the
proper sphere for every woman, and it is a
false philosophy which teaches anything
else The woman, whether married or I'M
married, who cannot live at home and find
employment in home work is unfortunate.
But the unhappy condition of these un-
fortunates is rendered all the more unhappy
bs the competition of girls Who although
thy have comfortable homes. will. for the
sake of earning pittance of pin money.
